The new latest falsehood management is telling “EVERYONE” is that the airline will grow 40% next year. This is a blatant lie. Their numbers for recruiting are down, so the easiest way to seduce suckers is to scream “growth”. They say they need 40 a class and maybe they’ll reach their goal of 20. This is a classic management technique. They don’t care that it’s a lie. They will do ANYTHING to achieve what they need to. Then, after paying for your own hotel, you will be stuck at a bottom feeder sh*thole airline commuting to reserve for $38 an hour. Please, for your sake and the sake of your families do not fall for these ploys. We are not set up to train that many people! There is NO WAY this airline can or will grow that much next year! It is impossible!

If regional guys quit applying they would probably just hire CFI’s. Most CFI’s would jump at the chance to be able to skip the regionals. Since mommy and daddy are usually paying their bills the low pay wouldn’t phase them. Most of them would be yes voters on a bad deal also.

They'd have to change their training program, I don't think it's optimized for piston ASEL pilots. But it might be coming.

I’ve been offered a phone interview, but I told the recruiter that in all honestly there’s no way I’d consider working at Frontier until after a new TA is signed. I’d take a pay cut to go from CRJ to A320. Furthermore, the absolute last thing I’d want to be is a probie during a strike. My choices would be either cross a picket line or be fired. Hell No to the first choice, not thrilled about the second.

It’s not worth the risk right now.

Their insurance premiums would skyrocket so there is no way that would happen.

Airbus. RJ's are more straight-forward to learn.

Overseas they put low-time pilots in them, but I've heard the training programs are lengthy.

Not to sure about this. An Airbus is probably the easiest of the airplanes to learn to fly. As for overseas flying, yeah they send them here to get their commercial multi, then around 300 hours they get shipped back home to observe for 3-6 months and then bam, right seat.
